CROSS-REFERENCE TO PRIORITY APPLICATION

This U.S. nonprovisional application claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 62/092,141 for an Information Augmented Product Guide (filed Dec. 15, 2014), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to product user guides and, more particularly, to an information augmented product user guide.

BACKGROUND

Product user guides usually contain a lot of detailed information about a product's use, features, maintenance, etc. which can be pretty overwhelming for a user. For this reason, a quick start guide is sometimes provided that explains the very minimum information required to get the user up and running. This can be very helpful to get the user going but falls short on substance when the user is ready to learn more. Both of these guides are usually available in both soft and hard copies, but require switching back and forth between the guide and the product, which does not provide a great user experience.

SUMMARY

A method includes receiving an image of a product, obtaining content relevant to using the product, and displaying the content in an augmented reality view of the product by overlaying the content on the image of the product on a display device.

A machine-readable storage device has instructions for execution by a processor of the machine to perform a method. The method includes receiving an image of a product, obtaining content relevant to using the product, and displaying the content in an augmented reality view of the product by overlaying the content on the image of the product on a display device.

A device includes a processor and a memory device coupled to the processor and having a program stored thereon for execution by the processor to receive an image of a product, identify a guide to using the product, obtain content relevant to using the product, and display the content in an augmented reality view of the product by overlaying the content on the image of the product on a display device.

The foregoing illustrative summary, as well as other exemplary objectives and/or advantages of the invention, and the manner in which the same are accomplished, are further explained within the following detailed description and its accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments which may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural, logical and electrical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. The following description of example embodiments is, therefore, not to be taken in a limited sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.

The functions or algorithms described herein may be implemented in software or a combination of software and human implemented procedures in one embodiment. The software may consist of computer executable instructions stored on computer readable media or computer readable storage device such as one or more memory or other type of hardware based storage devices, either local or networked. Further, such functions correspond to modules, which are software, hardware, firmware or any combination thereof. Multiple functions may be performed in one or more modules as desired, and the embodiments described are merely examples. The software may be executed on a digital signal processor, ASIC, microprocessor, or other type of processor operating on a computer system, such as a personal computer, server or other computer system.

Augmented reality functions are used to obtain, display, present and/or provide content concerning a product, such as a just-in-time quick start guide and additional information (e.g., identification of buttons and features of the product) using the product itself as context. Typically, the content is obtained and displayed in response to the product being brought within the field of view of a display device. Thus, for example, when a user brings a product into the field of view of a display device, the product defines the context for obtaining and/or displaying the content. Typically, after or as the user removes the product from the field of view, content corresponding to the product or a portion thereof that is no longer in the field of view is no longer displayed (e.g., disappears or fades from) the display because the corresponding content is no longer supported by the product or portion thereof. In other words, when the product is removed from or leaves the field of view, there is no context about which to generate product information. In another embodiment, all of the content or at least a portion thereof may continue to be displayed for a period of time after the product is removed from or leaves the field of view. By using a device 100 illustrated in block diagram form in FIG. 1, equipped with a camera and display, such as a smartphone, tablet, or near to eye wearable device that facilitates augmented reality, a user may view the actual product 110 through the camera view finder/display as an image, which also includes live video of the product. The product 110 may be recognized from pre-profiled images of the product and/or an augmented reality marker or the physical geometry of the product. Information such as at 115 is overlaid on the physical product 110 as if it were actually there on the product itself. Various features of the product may be highlighted, and a user may be walked through typical usage of the product by highlighting various features described in text on the product in the order that they must be executed.

Usage of the product, in addition to simply using the product for its intended use, may also include maintenance and repair operations in some embodiments. Examples of corresponding augmented images may include but are not limited to augmenting an image of a wiring harness to detail specific areas of interest, such as various wires, augmenting an image of a pump to enumerate bolts or other fasteners to remove for disassembly or replacement, and augmenting an image of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to detail specific components of interest.

In one embodiment, the device 100 is a smart device that is using its camera to inspect a physical object or product, in this case a rugged smartphone such as a Honeywell Dolphin Black smartphone. The software on the device 100 recognizes the object and estimates its pose to the object. Then relevant information about the object is displayed as if it were actually on the physical object. The information may be information from a user guide, metadata, video, animation, or any other type of information useful in demonstrating features and use of the product, generally referred to as content.

Features of product 110 for example, include imager button 115, power button 116, volume up button 117, volume down button 118, and further buttons, such as menu 119, home 120, scan 121, back 122, and search 123. The features may be highlighted in some embodiments indicative of further information being available. Lines may be used from the information to corresponding buttons. A prompt 125 displayed to the side of the product 110 advises the user to press a highlighted button to learn more about the button. Selectable links 127 may be selected to provide further detail including technical specifications, user guide, and warranty information.

In various embodiments, user issued voice commands are executed, and user interface interactions, such as pressing a button on the product are detected and used to provide further information in the augmented view of the product. These user interactions may be used to provide all the information about the product's use directly on top of the actual product so that one does not have to reference an external source.

In various embodiments, the augmented reality experience may be provided via a tablet or smart phone as illustrated at 110, running a smartphone application that instructs the user to look at a particular product through a real time camera video feed on the display. When any side of the product is recognized in a video feed, the user's perspective to the product may be determined based on the image's skew when compared to a pre-profiled image. This allows rendering of a 3D model of the product superimposed directly on top of the physical object to provide the augmented reality view. Buttons and features of the product may be highlighted, and text descriptions provided for the buttons and features.

In one embodiment, the entire 3D model of the object need not be displayed. Rather, the 3D model may be used as an invisible framework so that texturing of it may be changed on demand to highlight various components of the physical object, i.e., the product. It is essentially a map in 3D space to each feature on the product. By using the product's actual 3D drawing, components to highlight will align perfectly with display of the actual product/physical object. Highlighting of components provides the ability to walk a user through a particular operation by highlighting the buttons/steps to get there, in the order they must be executed. Detection of a user pressing a button may be performed by defining a region on a virtual object that registers a click event when it is detected that a finger/object crosses into the region.

Audio may be used to completely guide the user through the setup procedure. With this framework in place, a user may be visually and optionally audibly walked through any operation on the product. This can be a vast improvement over existing quick start and user guides.

In a specific example embodiment, the augmented reality feature may be used for a loading media into a printer operation. Printer customers may have a difficult time figuring out how to load media in their printer due to the various spindles and complexity of the product. Providing a view of the inside of the printer through a Smartphone or tablet to show the various media being loaded on the spindles and routed through the machine can aid the user in loading media. The view may be any type of content, such as a series of images, animation, video, etc., that aid the user in understanding the operation.

The augmented reality view may be used to completely walk a user step by step through the media loading process. The view may show an inside of the printer and may show floating text to inform the user what is happening. It shows how to lift the print head and adjust all the various sliders to ensure that the media is inserted correctly.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method 200 of providing information about a product utilizing an augmented reality view of the product. At 205, an image of the product is received. The image may comprise a single image, or a series of images, such as a video of the product. Pre-profiled images of the product may be used to compare to the received image to identify the product, and a corresponding guide or set of information regarding the product at 210. In one embodiment, the information comprises a start guide to help a user start using the product. The information may further include information from a product manual having instructions for using different features of the product, including advanced features.

Information from the guide relevant to using the product is retrieved or otherwise obtained at 215. In one embodiment, a virtual model of the product may be matched to the orientation of the product at 220. The model may be a very simple model that merely matches the size of the product, and may just include the relative positions of the features and buttons of the product.

The information may be correlated to the virtual model at 225 such that information is associated with each feature or button of the product. The association may be inferred by the position of the information with respect to the feature or button, and may also include reference lines leading between the information and corresponding feature or button.

At 230, the information is displayed in an augmented reality view of the product by overlaying the information on the image of the product on a display device in the same manner that it is associated with the features or buttons of the model.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method 300 of providing augmented views of a product to illustrate using an operation to be performed, such as using an advanced feature or function of the product. At 305, a user selecting a button or other type of user interface construct on the product is detected from received images. Detection of a user pressing a button may be performed by defining a region on a virtual object that registers a click event when it is detected that a finger/object crosses into the region. At 310, the detected selection is used to select further information from the guide related to the selection, such as a function or other operation. At 315, the information is associated with the model to identify a position of the information for the augmented view of the product, and at 320, the further information is presented in the augmented reality view of the product by overlaying the further information on the image of the product on the display device.

In one embodiment, an operation may involve multiple different interactions with the product, and the information associated with the interaction may be sequentially highlighted in an order corresponding to a selected operation on the product. Highlighting may include making an area of the display brighter, blurring other areas, providing a text attribute such as bolding, highlighting, blinking, etc., or other means of highlighting to draw a user's attention to the information on the display.

In some embodiments, the displayed image of the product is augmented with information descriptive of features of the product. The features include user selectable buttons. In further embodiments, the information includes selectable links to further detailed information regarding the features.

In one embodiment, the information comprises a view of inside the product during an operation. In one example, the product may include a printer, the operation may include loading media into the printer. The information may be a video of inner spindles and media being routed inside the printer corresponding to the operation. While the media being routed inside the printer may not be visible looking at the product, the augmented reality information can show the user a view that otherwise is not observable. Such information may help the user understand what is actually occurring during the operation as the user interacts with the product to accomplish the operation.

Other types of information beyond text include animated graphics showing a user various ways to interact with the product. User input gestures may be more easily illustrated by using such an animation to demonstrate the gesture directly overlaid via the augmented view of the product.

A context of the product may also be obtained. One context involves a product that has not yet been used. The context may be recognized by analyzing information presented on the product itself, or via a user interface selection of a startup guide for the product. For instance, a new product may be detected by packaging, including a film over a display of a new cell phone. Detection of the film may trigger display of the start guide to help guide the user through initial startup of the product, such as removing the film from the display, replacing a sim card and pressing real or virtual buttons to start the cell phone and establish connections to voice and data networks.

FIG. 4 is a block schematic diagram of a computer system 400 to implement methods according to example embodiments. Note that in some embodiments, various parts of a method may be implemented in a distributed manner, such that a server or cloud may perform some parts of the methods, or they may be completely self-contained on a single device. All components need not be used in various embodiments, such as smart phones, tablets, and other devices capable of providing augmented reality views of products. One example computing device in the form of a computer 400 may include a processing unit 402, memory 403, removable storage 410, and non-removable storage 412. Although the example computing device is illustrated and described as computer 400, the computing device may be in different forms in different embodiments. For example, the computing device may instead be a smartphone, a tablet, smartwatch, or other computing device including the same or similar elements as illustrated and described with regard to FIG. 4. Devices such as smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches are generally collectively referred to as mobile devices. Further, although the various data storage elements are illustrated as part of the computer 400, the storage may also or alternatively include cloud-based storage accessible via a network, such as the Internet.

Memory 403 may include volatile memory 414 and non-volatile memory 408. Computer 400 may include—or have access to a computing environment that includes—a variety of computer-readable media, such as volatile memory 414 and non-volatile memory 408, removable storage 410 and non-removable storage 412. Computer storage includes random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) & electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), flash memory or other memory technologies, compact disc read-only memory (CD ROM), Digital Versatile Disks (DVD) or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium capable of storing computer-readable instructions.

Computer 400 may include or have access to a computing environment that includes input 406, output 404, and a communication connection 416. Output 404 may include a display device, such as a touchscreen, that also may serve as an input device. The input 406 may include one or more of a touchscreen, touchpad, mouse, keyboard, camera, one or more device-specific buttons, one or more sensors integrated within or coupled via wired or wireless data connections to the computer 400, and other input devices. The computer may operate in a networked environment using a communication connection to connect to one or more remote computers, such as database servers. The remote computer may include a personal computer (PC), server, router, network PC, a peer device or other common network node, or the like. The communication connection may include a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or other networks.

Computer-readable instructions stored on a computer-readable medium are executable by the processing unit 402 of the computer 400. A hard drive, CD-ROM, and RAM are some examples of articles including a non-transitory computer-readable medium such as a storage device. The terms computer-readable medium and storage device do not include carrier waves. For example, a computer program 418 capable of providing a generic technique to perform access control check for data access and/or for doing an operation on one of the servers in a component object model (COM) based system may be included on a CD-ROM and loaded from the CD-ROM to a hard drive. The computer-readable instructions allow computer 400 to provide generic access controls in a COM based computer network system having multiple users and servers.

Although a few embodiments have been described in detail above, other modifications are possible. For example, the logic flows depicted in the figures do not require the particular order shown, or sequential order, to achieve desirable results. Other steps may be provided, or steps may be eliminated, from the described flows, and other components may be added to, or removed from, the described systems. Other embodiments may be within the scope of the following claims.
